Where you want the air to mostly go is into the rotor so it flows between the vanes and cools both sides of the rotor. You'd want the splash shield to have an opening about where the ones in splash shields designed to accept a cooling duct have theirs, or possibly an abbreviated shield that retains metal in places to shield things like tierod ends from brake heat.

Someone posted a thread saying he ran into soft brake after only one session with the splash shield on. I don't remember if that was his first time on track, though

Sounds more like a fluid issue or possibly a first-timer using the brakes more like he does on the street.
